Episode 204: All About American Black Bears

Published: Feb. 2, 2021, 9:14 a.m.

One of the more iconic species of the Americas, the Black Bear, is an animal that inhabits many people's backyards. This often timid bear, has adapted due to its incredible intelligence to living side by side people. So much so that they are an actual conservation success story. Once decimated in the late 1800s, the American Black Bear has bounced back, despite losing much of its historical range. In this week's podcast we learn about another amazing bear species. We talk everything Black Bear, with even some comparisons with its cousins the brown (grizzly) bear, polar bear, and many others.\xa0\n\n\nFor one cup of "good" coffee a month you can support your favorite podcast on Patreon and give back to conservation.
